Fan Bingbing’s skin stands out because there’s so much of it at the center of the picture. Honestly, Julianne Moore stands out the most for me as does Jane Fonda & Wendie Malick. The whole right side of this ad is completely forgotten for me.

These women make excellent L’Oreal ambassadors. They are all so beautiful and culturally and generationally varied, demonstrating that beauty is also vast and varied. Indeed, this photo was likely taken at Cannes when all the ladies were last together. I love Son am Aishwarya also,but wonder if that might have been just too many people to fit the frame as well??

While it’s nice to see some different skin colors, I would hardly say this is varied. They’re all thin with no differences in body weight or muscle mass, all but one has long hair, all the models have the standardized Western beauty features, such as narrow noses.

I guess they were going for those Vanity Fair type portraits you see in the Hollywood issue, shot by Annie Leibovitz.

But I don’t like the picture, the lighting seems off, it is too dark.

I think Sonam, Ash and Cheryl weren’t included as they’re more regional ambassadors. You can see their ads in their countries, the UK and India, but not usually internationally. Ash used to have international L’Oreal ads though.
